Camping on the showgrounds is available starting on Thursday. The Sacramento Valley DFA handles all parking reservations. People wishing to park together will need to send their reservations together. See the SVDFA premium list for details.
Early arrivals. We’re sorry, but the Fairgrounds will not permit camping before Thursday; however there are several RV parks within a short drive to the grounds.
Vineyard RV Park (www.vineyardrvpark.com ) is a 13 minute drive to the fairgrounds and 22 minutes to the host hotel. One of our members has stayed here for the 2025 Dixon shows and had a positive experience.
Midway RV Park ( www.midwayrvpark.com ) is next to Vineyard RV park, so about the same drivetime to the grounds.
SacWest RV Park ( www.sacwestrvpark.com ) lies to the east, closer to Sacramento, and is 12 minutes to the hotel and 23 minutes to the fairgrounds.
